UNSPSC 50344651: Frozen sprite melons

The variety of melons known as sprite melons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344651 Frozen sprite melons is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local procurement activity in the source. Recent opportunities posted under or near this code are acquiring shelf-stable and frozen food products for institutional feeding—primarily proteins, dairy, vegetables, grains, condiments, and consumables for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county social services departments—but none of the posted solicitations specifically name frozen sprite melons or melons of any variety as a procurement line item. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on August 5, 2026 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (Solicitation S2910000017684, due August 19, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education's June 10, 2026 fresh-produce bid includes melon varieties, but frozen sprite melons do not appear in any identified state or local solicitation from the recent-opportunities dataset.

State and local buying under food-service codes spans a diverse issuing-body mix: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (posting multiple IFBs for state hospital and state supported living center food service, including HHS0017338V1 for frozen food products across 18 qualified ordering entities statewide, due August 18, 2026), school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county human services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Oregon Department of Corrections). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC procurements), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and State of Georgia), Florida (Collier County), Oregon, and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Because the code nomenclature diverges sharply from recent procurement activity and no documented demand for frozen sprite melons appears in the source, the code warrants a skip unless upstream market intelligence confirms that state or local buyers are using this specific UNSPSC designation for actual melon purchases.
